I used phpmyadmin to export the database from the old host and then imported it into the new host. I used filezilla ftp to download the entire contents of the old site then uploaded everything to the new host, I also made a point of getting the storage directory and uploaded that, then I went through the config files both in root and admin and edited them to match the files I got from a brand new installation on the new host, edited to reflect the different database names and details and file locations.
PHP is installed and enabled by default, I've had the most reliable results with v 7.2 which is the version set up on the test site i set up to make sure i got the paths etc correct in the config files.
